Product Description
Canadian pilots flew with great distinction in the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War. This book focuses on 24 outstanding warplanes flown in those conflicts by Canadians.
Each warplane is profiled individually, accompanied by historic and contemporary visuals and colour artwork. Author Dan McCaffery highlights a diverse spectrum of aircraft, from First World War biplanes to Second World War classics such as the Spitfire and Lancaster. Also included are famous Commonwealth trainers such as the Harvard and Tiger Moth, as well as sleek Cold War jet fighters. Eyewitness accounts of heroic episodes involving the aircraft bring each of the warplanes to life.
